Precautions to prevent damage to the appliance
Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage the
ceramic glass.
Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.
These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch
on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do not
burn yourself).
Never place any hot container over the control panel.
If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying.
If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact the
after sales service.
Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Other precautions
Make sure that the container pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of
the pan must have to cover as much as possible the cooking zone.
Do not use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on still hot cooking
zones.
